After trying &ndash; and failing &ndash; to land a job as a journalist, he secured a trainee position at Morgan Stanley and got his first feel for the pecking order that exists in the trading pits.&#160; Those on the &ldquo;buy side,&rdquo; the traders who make large bets on whether a stock will rise or fall, are the &ldquo;alphas&rdquo; and those on the &ldquo;sell side,&rdquo; the brokers who handle their business, are eager to please.<br>&#160;<br><i>How </i>eager to please was brought home stunningly to Turney in 1999 when he arrived at the Galleon Group, a colossal hedge-fund management firm run by secretive founder Raj Rajaratnam.&#160; Finally in a position to trade on his own, Turney was encouraged to socialize with the sell side and siphon from his new broker friends as much information as possible.&#160; Soon he was not just vacuuming up valuable tips but also being lured into a variety of hedonistic pursuits.&#160; Na&iuml;ve enough to believe he could keep up the lifestyle without paying a price, he managed to keep an eye on his&#160;buy-and-sell charts and, meanwhile, pondered the strange goings on at Galleon, where tens of millions were being made each week in sometimes mysterious ways. <br>&#160;<br>At his next positions, at Argus Partners and J.L. Berkowitz, Turney climbed to even higher heights &ndash; and, as it turned out, plummeted to even lower <i>depths </i>&ndash; as, by day, he solidified his reputation one of the Street&rsquo;s most powerful healthcare traders, and by night, he blazed a path through the city&rsquo;s nightclubs, showing off his social genius and voraciously inhaling any drug that would fill the void he felt inside.<br>&#160;<br>A mesmerizingly immersive journey through Wall Street&rsquo;s first millennial decade, and a poignant self portrait by a young man who surely would have destroyed himself were it not for his decision to walk away from a seven-figure annual income, <i>The Buy Side </i>is one of the best coming-of-age-on-the-Street books ever written.</p><br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i></p><br clear="all">2014-06-17T00:30:00-05:00Social Insecurity by James W.

In 2008, as the 401(k) fallout rippled across the country, horrified holders watched 25 percent of their funds evaporate overnight. Average 401(k) balances for those approaching retirement are too small to generate more than $4,000 in annual retirement income, and experts predict that nearly half of middle-class workers will be poor or near poor in retirement.

This hasn&rsquo;t always been the case.<br><br>Each generation of workers since the nineteenth century has had more retirement security than the previous generation. That is, until 1981, when shaky 401(k) plans began replacing traditional pensions. For the last thirty years, we&rsquo;ve been advised that the best way to build one&rsquo;s nest egg is to heavily invest in 401(k)-type programs, even though such plans were originally designed to be a supplement to rather than the basis for retirement. <br><br>This financial experiment, promoted by neoliberals and aggressively peddled by Wall Street, has now come full circle, with tens of millions of Americans discovering that they would have been better off under traditional pension plans long since replaced. As James W. Russell explains, this do-it-yourself retirement system&mdash;in which individuals with modest incomes are expected to invest large sums of capital in order to reap the same rewards as high-end money managers&mdash;isn&rsquo;t working. <br> <i><br>Social Insecurity</i> tells the story of a massive and international retirement robbery&mdash;a substantial transfer of wealth from everyday workers to Wall Street financiers via tremendously costly hidden fees. Russell traces what amounts to a perfect swindle, from its ideological origins at Milton Friedman&rsquo;s infamous Chicago School to its implementation in Chile under Pinochet&rsquo;s dictatorship and its adoption in America through Reaganomics.
